Ring in Chapter 7 of the User’s Guide for instruction on setting up your machine using this feature.

Will you be using Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?

If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine, there is a strong possibility that

Voice Mail and the Brother machine will conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls. See Voice Mail

in Chapter 7 of the User’s Guide for instructions on setting up your machine using this service.

Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?

Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will automatically answer every call. Voice messages are

stored on the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Choose External TAD as your receive mode. See

the instructions below.

Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Choose Fax Only as your receive mode. See the

instructions below.

Will you be using your Brother machine on the same line as your telephone?

Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically?

The Fax/Tel receive mode is used when sharing the Brother machine and your telephone on the same line.

Choose Fax/Tel as your receive mode. See the instructions below.

Important Note: You cannot receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering machine when

choosing the Fax/Tel mode.

Do you expect to receive very few faxes?

(USA only) The Telephone Consumer Protection

Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to

use a computer or electronic device to send any

message via a telephone fax machine unless

such messages clearly contain, in a margin at the

top or bottom of each transmitted page, or on the

first page of the transmission, the date and time it

is sent and an identification of the business or

other entity or other individual sending the

message and the telephone number of the

sending machines or such business, other entity

or individual. To program this information into

your machine, see Set the date and

time on page 9 and Set your Station

ID on page 10.

For Wireless Network Users

For Wireless Network Interface Users

Before you begin

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your network access

point (router). After the machine is configured to communicate with your access point (router) computers on your

network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from these computers, you will need to install the

drivers and software. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.

Note

• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close

to the network access point (router) as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between

the two devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of

your documents.

• Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and

applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics,

you may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer or USB for the fastest

throughput speed.

• Although the Brother MFC-8690DW and MFC-8890DW can be used in a both wired and wireless network,

only one of the connection methods can be used at a time.

• If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the machine you must reset the network (LAN)

settings before you can configure the wireless settings again.

On your machine, press Menu. Press 7.

Press 0 to choose Network Reset.

Press 1 twice for Yes to accept the change.

Note

The following instructions are for infrastructure mode.

To set up your machine in any other wireless environment you can find instructions in the Network User’s

Guide on the CD-ROM.

You can view the Network User’s Guide by following the instructions below.

1 Turn on your computer/Macintosh. Insert the Brother CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

For Windows®:

2 Choose your model and the language. The CD-ROM main menu will appear.

For Wireless Network Users

Confirm your network environment (Infrastructure Mode)

The following instructions will offer two methods for installing your Brother machine in a wireless network

environment. Both methods are for infrastructure mode, using a wireless router or access point that uses DHCP

to assign IP addresses. Choose a configuration method and proceed to the page indicated.

aIf your wireless router/access point does not support SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup or

AOSS™, write down the wireless network settings of your wireless access point/router.

1WPA/WPA2-PSK is a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key, which lets the Brother wireless machine associate with access points using TKIP or

AES encryption (WPA-Personal). WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP or AES) uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters in length, up to a

maximum of 63 characters.

2The WEP key is for 64-bit encrypted networks or 128-bit encrypted networks and can contain both numbers and letters. If you do not know this

information you should see the documentation provided with your access point or wireless router. This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit value that must be

entered in an ASCII or HEXADECIMAL format.

Now go to page 33

IMPORTANT

If you do not know this information (Network Name, WEP key, WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key), LEAP or EAP-

FAST) you cannot continue the wireless setup. You should see the documentation provided with your

access point or wireless router, consult the router manufacturer, or your system administrator.

Item Example Record the current wireless network settings

Communication mode: (infrastructure) Infrastructure

Network name: (SSID, ESSID) HELLO

Authentication method:

For example:

e.g. “Hello” (this is case sensitive)

64-bit Hexadecimal: Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data

e.g. “71f2234aba”

128-bit ASCII: Uses 13 text characters

e.g. “Wirelesscomms” (this is case sensitive)

128-bit Hexadecimal: Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data

e.g. “71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa3ba“
